Boxing's DYING Neil, Didn't You Know???...Moreso, NONE of the Young Guys U Listed EVER has a Chance of Being as Good as ANY Old School Fighter...It's CLEAR to See, Thru these Rose Colored... REED:dancingBaby:
Not too sure about several including Dirrell, Garcia, Lara. The major problem is that its takes years before we see many of them in genuinely competitive fights, due to collusion between networks and promoters/handlers..and given that once they reach pay network level, they fight twice a year...do we really have the patience to wait for Gary Russell Jnr to engage in a 50/50 fight before 2014?
Those are the guys I like. Plenty of good fighters on this list. I also like Oscar Escandon. I wouldn't have bolded him, but Deontay Wilder should be on the list. He has a lot of potential.
That's a choc-ice. An oreo is anything white sandwiched between two black sides, like Neil and his two black boyfriends.
Didn't I post a list of comparable fighters from 5 and 10 years ago? And weren't they both irrefutably superior when compared to the list from the current day? clearly we can't know FOR SURE until allllll their careers are over and done, but... fuck's sake we can be pretty certain they were not in the same league.
Again - boxing isn't DYING... but there is a decline when compared to past era's and it's not even a debate. there is also a decline in the USA talent pool, imo. but also look at the Olympic talent overall (not just USA)... even if the Olympic boxers are just as good or close, are they even turning pro or making any noise in the pro ranks? did anyone besides James DeGale make any noise from the 2008 crop? Deontay Wilder maybe.... anyone else? What the hell happened to V/Lomachenko??? I loved that guy. has there been a less successful Olympic crop of boxers in the last 20 years than the 2008 group? Is there anyone from the 2012 that could turn this around?
Let's just say that he made the most noise? Even more proof of how weak the 2008 group was when compared to past olympics.
True, I hadn't thought about it really - but yeah we're 4 years on now, and that's an incredibly low amount of noise for any olympic group.
He is black. He's got a black dick in his ass, and a black dick in his mouth, and he's the white treat in the middle. Oreo Neil!!
Yeah, if losing to Grove 11-1 is making noise, then we've all made some noise. DeGale is ducking real comp at the moment. Was just offered a fight with Adonis in an IBF eliminator. Apparently he's having "promotional issues". Ducker.
I think this is all underlining my point. It was a stretch to say DeGale made noise, yet he is the most outstanding professional boxer of the lot, isn't he?
